Chandigarh, July 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continued its winning momentum in Punjab’s urban local bodies by securing a decisive victory in the municipal elections in the Abohar Municipal Corporation and the Morinda Municipal Council. The party won the posts of Mayor, President and all other key office-bearers in both civic bodies, reaffirming the growing confidence of elected representatives in the leadership and governance model of the AAP.
In the Abohar Municipal Corporation, Ganesh Kumar Sablaniya was elected as the Mayor, Reshma Bai as the Senior Deputy Mayor and Smt. Kiran as the Deputy Mayor. The AAP candidates secured victory with the support of 27 councillors in the 50-member Municipal Corporation.
Similarly, in the Morinda Municipal Council, Jagpal Singh Jolly was elected as the President, Daljeet Kaur Bhichra as the Senior Vice President and Harjinder Singh Chibber as the Vice President, giving the Aam Aadmi Party a clean sweep of all the top positions.
Speaking after the election, the newly elected President of the Morinda Municipal Council, Jagpal Singh Jolly, rejected the false allegations made by former Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi regarding the councillors. “All the councillors present here have come of their own free will. No one has been pressured or coerced in any manner. Every councillor has exercised his or her democratic right independently,” he said.
He said that Charanjit Singh Channi was attempting to mislead the public through baseless statements and asserted that such politics of misinformation would not succeed. “The councillors have wholeheartedly supported the AAP candidates after exercising their democratic rights independently. The people have rejected the politics of falsehood and have once again placed their faith in honest politics,” he added.
The AAP congratulated all the newly elected office-bearers and expressed confidence that they would work with dedication, honesty and transparency to accelerate development and ensure better civic services for the people of Abohar and Morinda.
